the goal was to reproduce the issue without any leftovers from previous runs, not to solve this by that cmd, I had similar issue before and wanted to make sure this is linkage issue, not a garbage file issue._________________Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity and I'm not sure about the former - Albert Einstein

thanks all - it *was* a garbage file issue; there
were a couple of libxpcom's in ancient xulrunner
directories that were cluttering my system

things better now

Yeah, I had the same issue - ended up being I still had `xulrunner` package installed from a long time when it was a separate package. Unemerging it resolves the issue. Just figured I'd note the fix in this thread if anyone else comes across it._________________Ps = (1.5 x 6 x .75) / {(4/3) (pi) [(31.039 x 10^15) (46.5 x 10^9)]^3}
Seems like a waste..

I've had the same issue. Thanks a million for sharing what needed to be done!

Xulrunner was long gone. Did not find any other copies of the offending .so apart from those in /usr/lib/firefox and /usr/lib/thunderbird. I end up doing "emerge -C firefox thunderbird; emerge firefox thunderbird". This broke the revdep-build loop for me on both my build machines._________________Beware the grue.
